Patent GB-190808771-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Energy-storing or Compensating Arrangements applicable more particularly to Hydraulic Systems for the Transmission of Power.
Filed: 1907-09-11
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 8771. Siemens Schuckertwerke Ges. Sept. 12, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Fixed-abutment type.- Relates to fluid powertransmission systems comprising pumps actuated by constant-speed motors and provided with means for altering the rate or direction of flow of the motive fluid which circulates in a closed circuit, and consists in providing means for avoiding fluctuations in the load on the primary source of power. Fig. 1 shows a rotary pump g, the boss a of which carries the vanes f. The shaft of the boss is fixedly journaled, while the outer casing b may be moved about a pivot c for varying the eccentricity. The driven motor m is connected to the pump g by flexible pipes r<1>, r<2>. In order that variations of load on the driven machine may not affect the prime motor, an energy-supplying or energy-storing machine or apparatus is coupled to the p u m p, and the energy supplied to the prime motor is controlled by this supplying or storing device according to the power taken by the pump. The pump does not form part of the invention. The driving- motor t, Fig. 2, is regulated by the provision of a resistance w in its exciting-circuit, which resistance is varied according to the amount of energy in the storage device, in this case the fly-wheels. In Fig. 3, the current supplied to the motor t is governed by a solenoid d, which carries the main motor current and controls a two-pole switch u, whereby an auxiliary motor e is caused to vary the resistance w. An electric-energy supply system, which is controlled in accordance with the output of the pump, is shown in Fig. 4. In the pipes r, r<2> are spring-controlled pistons v<1>, v' connected to a rod k, which, in conjunction with a slot in the hub of a hand-controlled lever h when this is moved to start the system, controls a shunt w in the circuit of an auxiliary machine p. Where the power of the driven machine is very high, the pump may be replaced by several small ones working in series or parallel. When two or more pump sets are employed, a less number of storage devices may be provided, so arranged that they can operate in conjunction with any particular pump set which is not working at average load. In Fig. 5, a single storage battery p serves two pump sets, each having its own auxiliary machine p<1> governed by a solenoid in the circuit of the corresponding prime motor. The machines p<1> are arranged in parallel with the battery p.

Abstract: 12,799. Nance, C. W. June 15. Vacuum apparatus.-Consists in a system of vats and piping in combination with an exhausting- device, whereby hides and skins are subjected to the successive action of graded tanning-liquors in the presence of a minimum of air, with the objectof preventing the access of oxygen to the tanning- material. Fig. 1 is a plan view of the whole'plant, and Figs. 2 and 4 are a side elevation and transverse section of the "deoxygenizing" chambers shown at S in the other Figures. The chambers 1<A>, 2A, 3A, Fig. 1, contain the graded liquors, and the chambers 1B, 2B, 3<B> contain the hides which are piled on the sloping floors of the vats 1<B>, 2<B>, 3<B>, with interleaved mats W of perforated celluloid. Along each vat runs a perforated spraying and exhausting tube U of material unaffected by tannin, which terminates at the outlet S<2>, Fig. 5, of the "deoxygenizing" chamber S. These chambers contain double-coned plugs S<7> on which the sprayed liquor impinges from an upper reservoir B<5> surrounding the exhaust tube S'. By means of a movable pipe A', Fig. 1, and cocks T at the tops of the vats, the chambers may be coupled in pairs to an exhausting-device A which may be of the type described in Specification No. 5325, A.D. 1908, [Abridgment Class Injectors &c.]. The vats being charged with hides and liquor, that in the vat 1<A> being the weakest, the procadure is as follows : the pipe A<2> is coupled to vats 1<A>, 1<B>, as shown in full lines, and a preliminary exhaustion removes the air from the liquor and the hide vat. The vat 1<A> is then opened to atmosphere by means of a cock, and its liquor is conveyed through a pipe to the chamber S and spray pipe U of the vat 1<B>. The vat 1<A> is then exhausted and filled with the liquor of the vat 2<A> by the pipe Z<3>. The pipe A<2> is then transferred to the vats 2<A>, 2<B>, as shown in dotted lines, and the liquor in the vat 1<B> is transferred through the pipes Z<5>, Z' to the vat 2<B>, the vat 1<B> being meanwhile opened to atmosphere. The vat 1<B> is then exhausted again and filled with the contents of the vat 1<A>. The pipe A is then transferred to vats 3A, 3<B>, and a third transfer of the liquor is made, the valves being so manipulated that the three grades of liquor are brought back to the vats from which they started.

Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 24,986. Richards, J. Nov. 20. Bending; corrugating; embossing. -In hooks or suspenders for pictures &c., brackets for window-blind rollers &c., of the kind which are secured to a wall &c. by means of struck up corrugated d spikes or tongues formed with bosses at the roots, the bending- up, corrugating, and embossing are performed in one operation by means of dies so as to prevent ripping of the material. Figs. 6 and 7 show a picture hook a with the cut tongues b bent slightly outwards prior to the bending and embossing operation. The plate a is placed on a bottom die d, Fig. 12, which is wedge-shaped in cross-section as shown in plan in Fig. 13, and which is formed with a fluted upright or slightly sloping surface d<2> and a recess d<3>. The top die e is formed with a short upright edge e<1> to press the tongue b into the fluted surface d<2> of the lower die and with a projecting part e' on its underside adapted to press the metal of the plate a near the junction of the tongue b into the recess d3 in the lower die to form the embossed part. Side wings e<3> on the top die serve to prevent the plate a from rising during the operation. At the first operation the bosses c, Figs. 8 and 10, are completely formed, but the tongues b are only slightly curved. By further operations the tongues may be more deeply corrugated, as shown in Fig. 4, the corrugations being on the same side of the tongues as the bosses c. In a modification, shown in Fig. 18, the boss c is formed on the pack of the plate a with a recess in the front, the corrugations in the tongues b being formed on the sides of the tongues b opposite the bosses, as shown. In the further modification shown in Figs. 20 and 22, the tongues b are formed by cutting out the centre of the plate, the bending and corrugating operations being performed in a similar manner to that described. The tongues may be arranged on the outside edge of the plate. Two bosses may be formed at the roots instead of only one, and the tongues may be bent downwards instead of horizontally so as to be more in the direction of the blows of the hammer and to take the forward and downward pull of the picture &c. According to the Provisional Specification, the tongues may be thickened by pressure instead of being corrugated and may be struck up from a suitable foundation plate aud then covered with another piece of metal which may carry the suspender &c.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Pickling and Washing of Steel Plates and other Articles, and to Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: MATTHEWS RICHARD BORLASE
IPC: C23G3/00
Filed: 1909-01-01
Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 48. Matthews, R. B., and Francis, W. E. Jan. 1. Pickling.- Steel sheets and other articles to be pickled and washed are arranged in a carrier adapted to be rotated by the motion of the pickling - liquor. The carrier c, Figs. 2 and 4, has a cantral tubular part adapted to fit over, and rotate upon, a hollow pedestal d in the tank a. The pickling-liquor is withdrawn from the tank through a pipe i by a centrifugal pump f, and is re-introduced through a passage h into the pedestal, a vertical slot d' in this allowing the liquor to escape into the vat and set up a circulation. A nozzle d<2> at the lower part of the pedestal projects a jet of liquor against vanes or buckets c<2> arranged on the bottom of the carrier, which is thereby rotated. A deflector c<3> meets some of the liquor from the nozzle and directs it upwards to improve the circulation. The carrier may be provided with runners or rollers on its outer edge to relieve the strain on the pedestal, and may be circular in form, the plates being arranged substantially radially ; or it may be of cruciform shape, the plates being arranged either all parallel to one of the arms, or always at right-angles to the arm in which they are placed ; or it may be rectangular, the plates being placed parallel with one of the sides. Or the carrier may be shaped as shown in Fig. 8, the vanes in this case being arranged on the outer edge of the carrier. The carrier may be held stationary and the tank caused to rotate. One or more filling-platforms, pickling-vats, and washing-tanks are arranged in series, with an overhead traveller for transferring the carriers from one vessel to another. The tanks or vats may be provided with nozzles or sprays placed in suitable positions for directing the liquor in any desired direction between or towards the plates.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Electric Signals for Tramways Railways and the like
IPC: B61L13/00
Filed: 1909-01-06
Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 319. Rogers, H. I., and Brecknell, Munro, & Rogers. Jan. 6. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Electrical systems, automatic ; visual outdoor signals.-The magnets of electrically operated and controlled signals are short-circuited or cut out immediately they have done their work. Two semaphore-operating magnets A', B' are provided, and on the axis of their common armature C is mounted the semaphore H, which is counterbalanced to remain in one or the other of its operative positions by an arm O. The circuit of the magnet A' is led from a normally open contact A through the magnet A' and lamps G, G<1> to earth. The contact A is closed by a train in passing, and current flows from the live wire E through the magnet A', which pulls over the armature C from the normal position shown and lifts the semaphore to danger. At the same time, a switch bar D mounted on the armature axis closes the contacts J, J', short-circuiting the magnet A', and completing a circuit from a lead L, through a fuse M, switch D, and contact J to the lamps G, G', which are thereby maintained. The circuit is necessary owing to the re-opening of the circuit from the contact A, which circuit is only closed momentarily by the train trolley or like device. The movement of the switch D also causes current to be supplied to the lamps K, K<1> placed at the other end of the block or at any other convenient position to constitute a home signal. The semaphore will remain at danger until the train on passing out of the section momentarily closes, through the contact B, the circuit of the magnet B', whereupon the armature C is returned to its original position and the semaphore is dropped, the movement being accompanied by a flashing of the lamps N, N' in the magnet circuit.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gear or Chain Cases particularly for Cycles and the like.
IPC: B62J13/04
Filed: 1909-03-06
Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 5469. Hegan, F. J., and Coventry Sheet Metal Working Co. March 6. Gear cases.- In fixed gear or chain cases for cycles &c., for closing the central hole in the removable disk opposite to the front chainwheel, a ring of inextensible material is so constructed and arranged that it may be applied when the crank and chain-wheel are integral and when the crank axle is eccentrically adjustable. The ring is made in two, preferably similar, segmental parts G, the ends G<2> of which are slightly recessed to lie snugly under the ends G<3>. A rivet passes through a hole in each part to form a pivot H, and indentations G<4> are adapted to engage when the ring is closed to prevent accidental opening. In putting the ring in position, the disk is detached from the case, and the ring is opened out, slipped round the crank, and closed up. One hose, such as G<6>, is then tucked under the edge of the hole C and pushed into the space between the disk and a ring attached to the back of it. By giving the ring a spiral motion, the whole of its edge is pushed into the space, the two parts being completely closed just before the last nose is in place. To remove the ring, the disk is again separated from the rest of the case and is then given a movement in the direction diametrically opposite to the pivot H. The nose G<6>, thus rendered visible, can be pulled up and hooked over the edge of the hole, when a spiral motion of the ring brings it to the outside of the disk. The invention may be applied to motor-vehicles.
